[QUOTE="stocky, post: 1205159, member: 1150"] Possum Trot, Mo. I live about 5 miles south of there. Quail Spur, MO 4 miles west of me. Oto, Mo Is on my farm. In the early 1900's, it was named after the Otoe Indian tribe but when they got a post office, they wanted a shorter name, so they dropped the "e". Ponce de le Leon, Mo. 8 miles east of me. Hootentown, Mo. 6 miles northeast of me and Denver mentioned it because when I gave him directions to get here, I sent him throught Hootentown. Noble, Mo. Is near DenverMartinfarms, south of Wasola. I only mention it because last time I was there it only had 3 buildings, one was a house, one was a church, and the other was a post office that was still in business. Montag, Mo, east of me, was later changed to Torre, Mo. Has a fish hatchery, church, and one home. Not one of these places have a store anymore, but they used to all have a canning factory, store, gas station, school, etc. There were alot of little towns within 20 miles of me that had regular names, Reavisville, Wheelerville, Union City, Brown Springs, Abesville, Jenkins, Jamesville, Delaware, Elsey, White City, Boaz, Clio, Cave Springs, and many others and all used to have businesses but not one of them even has a store, anymore. On one of the episodes of the Beverly Hillbillies, someone asked Uncle Jed how they ended up in Beverly Hills and he said it wasn't hard, just took a wrong turn at Blue Eye. Blue Eye straddles the Missouri-Arkansas line. The high school baseball field was situated such that if you really hit a ball hard to centerfield, you could hit it all the way "into Arkansas". Also, Oldfield, Mo. is about halfway between Denver and I. [/QUOTE]
